An efficient method for the reduction of aromatic azides to anilines via the Staudinger reaction using tri-n-butylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate with triethylamine in aqueous tetrahydrofuran solution is reported. The method enables the aromatic azido-selective reduction of 3-azido-5-(azidomethyl)benzene derivatives to efficiently afford anilines bearing an azidomethyl group.
A facile strategy for the synthesis of trifunctional molecules involving three sequential selective triazole-forming reactions is proposed. This method exploits three kinds of mechanistically different azido-type-selective cycloadditions. Three different azidophiles could be efficiently connected to a triazido platform molecule with three types of azido groups in a consecutive manner, which rendered
Suzuki–Miyauracoupling of 3-azido-5-(azidomethyl)phenylboronic acid pinacol ester with various aryl bromides affords corresponding diazido-functionalized biaryl compounds in good yields. This approach provides an easy access to radioisotope-free photoaffinity probes possessing biaryl structure. By using this method, we prepared a novel diazido-functionalized dantrolene analog, which showed selective
Iridium-catalyzed azide–thioalkyne cycloaddition was found to be effective for the azido-type-selective reaction of various multiazido compounds, enabling facile synthesis of multitriazole compounds in short steps.
